Step 1: The Rocket Launcher

You can purchase these cheap rocket launchers in various stores or online. They are called the Power Streak Rocket Launcher.

Step 2: Materialz

You will need: a power streak rocket launcher with rockets; a crosshead (phillips) screwdriver; and a hot glue gun.

Step 3: Unscrew

Unscrew all screws on the gun. Use the screwdriver to pry the halves apart.

Step 4: Remove Rod

Remove the black rod. We will glue this in place to keep it from wobbling around.

Step 5: Apply Hot Glue

Apply hot glue to where the rod was. Replace the rod and add more glue.

Step 6: Other Side

Apply hot glue to the same spot on the other half of the gun.

Step 7: Reclose

Put the halves back together and replace screws.

Step 8: The Rocket

Now take a rocket and apply glue to the end cap to make a buffer. This will create more tension in the spring and add more launching power. Make sure to leave a little space for the catch tooth to hold the rocket.

Step 9: Repeat

Do the same for the other rocket.

Step 10: You're Done!

Done!!! The rocket should be more stable and a little more powerful now. Enjoy! Thanks for viewing!!!
